Kill Again
Not long after the main force of the Corrosive Bone Gang was wiped out, Lin Ming sensed two even stronger and more dangerous auras, like sharks smelling blood, rapidly approaching the area from different directions.
One of them was bloodthirsty and violent, likely belonging to the Seven-Star Dou Ancestor elder of the Blood Cold Gate; the other was lewd and eerie, carrying a disturbing fluctuation, undoubtedly belonging to the Peak Dou Ancestor expert of the Demonic Desire Sect — the Old Man Demonic Desire!
"They've arrived." Lin Ming stood on a relatively open mountaintop, his gaze sharp as an eagle, looking towards the distant horizon. Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan stood on either side, their expressions solemn, yet without the slightest fear.
"Heh heh, trying to escape? Why aren't you running away anymore?" A figure shrouded in an eerie pink mist tore through the clouds and appeared above the mountain peak.
The mist dissipated slightly, revealing a pale and effeminate face with cloudy eyes that seemed to contain an endless abyss of desire—it was the Old Man Demonic Desire.
His gaze swept greedily over Lin Ming, finally settling on Xiao Yi Xian's exquisitely beautiful face. He licked his lips, "What a stunningly beautiful and poisonous woman, brimming with Primordial Yin, a perfect vessel for you! Boy, hand over these two girls and the Heavenly Flames beside you, and I might consider leaving you a whole corpse."
Almost simultaneously, another streak of blood -Blood Cold Gate Blood light descended, and the Seven-Star Dou Ancestor elder of the Bloodfrost Sect appeared. His eyes were fixed on Lin Ming with a sinister glint, his Killing Intent undisguised. "You little bastard, you killed a deacon of my Blood Cold Gate Sect! Today, I will extract your soul and refine your blood as a warning to others!"
Facing two High-Rank Dou Zong, one of whom was a peak expert, Lin Ming merely smiled faintly, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "Old Man Demonic Desire? The name is fitting, you look like you've been drained by wine and women. With your crooked and evil ways, you dare to covet the people and things around me?"
"Sharp-tongued!" The lewd light in the Old Man Demonic Desire's eyes was instantly replaced by a chilling coldness. "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish! Elder Blood Rage, leave that brat to me. You go and capture those two girls, but be careful not to damage my cauldron!"
"Good!" Elder Blood Rage Xue Li sneered, and the aura of Seven-Star Dou Ancestor suddenly erupted. Blood light surged around him, and he transformed into a Blood Shadow, rushing straight towards Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan.
In his view, dealing with a Three-Star Dou Ancestor and a Peak Dou Emperor would be a piece of cake.
"Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, I'm leaving the Puppet to you. Be careful and just hold them off!" Lin Ming quickly transmitted his voice, and then a pair of magnificent bone wings suddenly unfurled from his back!
The bone wings were bone-white, with faint silver spatial ripples flowing along their edges. With a wingspan of several meters, they exuded an ancient and majestic avian aura! This was Flying Fighting Skill crafted from the Sky Demon Phoenix Bone Wings!
"Heavenly Phoenix Wings, flap!"
"Call out!"
Lin Ming's figure blurred instantly, leaving only a fading afterimage. His speed was so fast that the Old Man Demonic Desire's pupils suddenly contracted!
"Such speed! What kind of Flying Fighting Skill is this?!" The Old Man Demonic Desire was shocked and dared not be careless anymore. He released his powerful Dou Qi at the Peak Dou Ancestor without reservation. Pink mist instantly filled half the sky. Within the mist, it seemed that countless enchanting figures were twisting and turning, emitting seductive sounds that disturbed people's minds.
"Demonic Desire Domain, sink into ruin!"
However, Lin Ming's Soul Power was extremely strong, and he was also protected by Heavenly Flames, so this kind of mental erosion had little effect on him.
His Sky Demon Phoenix Wings flapped again, and his figure appeared beside the Old Man Demonic Desire as if by Instantaneous Movement. On his fist, Purple-Red Dou Qi was wrapped with wisps of purplish-red flames, and he threw a punch!
Wherever the fist passed, the pink mist boiled and evaporated violently as if it had encountered its nemesis, making a hissing sound.
"Heavenly Flames?!" The Old Man Demonic Desire's expression changed again. In a hurry, he gathered his Dou Qi and struck out with a palm. The palm wind carried a strange power that sucked away a person's Dou Qi and essence.
"Bang!"
Fists and palms collided, and energy exploded. The Old Man Demonic Desire swayed and was actually knocked back half a step, while Lin Ming used the flexibility of the Sky Demon Phoenix Wings to gracefully flip in the air, dissipating the force and widening the distance again.
"Your speed... and this Heavenly Flames..." The Old Man Demonic Desire finally put away all his contempt, and his eyes became extremely solemn.
He discovered that his Peak Dou Ancestor speed was no match for the opponent's strange bone wings! Moreover, the eerie purplish-red Heavenly Flames had a strong restraining effect on his Demonic Desire Cultivation Method!
On the other side, the trio of Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Puppet One were also fighting against Elder Blood Rage.
Xiao Yi Xian unleashed the full power of her Woeful Poison Body, transforming Gray Poison Dou Qi into countless poisonous needles and Poison Mist that layered upon each other, enveloping Elder Blood Rage.
Although Elder Blood Rage's blood-attribute Dou Qi was fierce, it was still hampered when faced with the all-pervasive and highly corrosive Calamity Poison Power. He had to focus on defending against it, and his strength was suppressed by 30-40%.
Meanwhile, Zi Yan, relying on the talent of the Ancient Void Dragon, moved like lightning and possessed terrifying strength. She would occasionally Space-Tearing to teleport short distances, coordinating with Xiao Yi Xian's poison attacks to harass and launch surprise attacks.
Her fist contained Dragon Force, and even Elder Blood Rage, Seven-Star Dou Ancestor, dared not take it head-on.
Puppet One's attacks were even simpler. There were no fancy Dou Technique; it was all about reckless head-on clashes. The key was that since it felt no pain, it would strike one blow after another. Therefore, with Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Puppet One, Elder Blood Rage not only couldn't quickly defeat them, but was also forced to defend himself against them.
"Damn it!" The Old Man Demonic Desire Elder Blood Rage was still at a disadvantage against the two people and the puppet, and that he himself could not gain the upper hand against Lin Ming's strange speed and the restrained Heavenly Flames.
He roared, his hands forming a seal, and the pink mist surged violently, condensing into several enormous pink Giant Python made of the power of desire, tearing at Lin Ming from different directions.
"A mere trick!" Lin Ming sneered. His Sky Demon Phoenix Wings flapped, leaving afterimages in the air as he easily dodged the Giant Python's attack. At the same time, with a thought, the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame roared out, transforming into a Sea of Fire that enveloped the pink Giant Python.
"Hiss hiss hiss--"
Like cold water dripping into boiling oil, the pink Giant Python rapidly melted under the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames, emitting a shrill scream before finally turning into nothingness.
"Boy, you have thoroughly enraged me!" The Old Man Demonic Desire had a ferocious look on his face. He no longer held back, and his Dou Qi was frantically poured into the pink mist around him.
The mist grew increasingly dark, eventually turning almost into a tangible dark red, and a nauseatingly sweet and pungent odor filled the air.
"The Demonic Desire True Body, the Hundred Desires Celestial Demon!"
The dark red mist churned and condensed, eventually forming a dark red demonic figure tens of feet tall behind the Old Man Demonic Desire. Its face was blurred, yet it exuded an aura of endless temptation and depravity!
As soon as the demonic shadow appeared, the temperature on the entire mountaintop seemed to rise, and a restlessness and desire originating from the depths of the soul were subtly stirred.
This is the Old Man Demonic Desire's Trump Card, Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique. It can condense the Heavenly Demon of Desire, greatly enhancing his own combat power, and can also arouse the inner demons of his opponents, making him extremely difficult to deal with!
"You have reason to be proud that you were able to force out my True Body! Die!" The Old Man Demonic Desire and his True Body seemed to merge into one, and a huge demonic claw made of dark red energy Space-Rending, carrying a bewitching and soul-devouring power, and slashed down at Lin Ming's head!
The power of this claw strike has already surpassed that of an ordinary Peak Dou Ancestor!
Faced with this terrifying attack, Lin Ming's eyes sharpened. He slowly raised his hands, forming a profound and complex hand seal. As the hand seal changed, the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame within his body surged forth as if summoned, not burning chaotically, but beginning to differentiate and Form Shaping!
"The Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method..." Lin Ming's deep voice rang out, carrying a strange rhythm.
"The Fifth Law..." Lin Ming's voice suddenly rose, carrying a sense of pioneering and determination, "Based on my Heavenly Flames, transforming the essence of the Separating Fire... Five Dragons Paying Homage!"
As soon as he spoke, the Origin Flame of the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame burned, expanded, and twisted violently! Under Lin Ming's incredibly precise control of his powerful Soul Power, and guided by the profound mysteries of the fifth technique of the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method, the five flames instantly began to solidify!
"Sing--!"
A clear and majestic roar, as if from the ancient wilderness, suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
As the light faded, five lifelike Flame Giant Dragon, entirely composed of purplish-red flames and entwined with destructive purple patterns, were seen swirling around Lin Ming!
These five fire dragons were each over ten feet long, with fully visible scales, sharp claws, and pure Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame burning in their eyes! They were no longer illusory beast forms, but possessed almost the true majesty and power of dragons! Especially the largest fire dragon in the middle, which even had two bulges on its head, as if dragon horns were about to break out of their cocoons!
The five dragons appeared, and the energy between heaven and earth instantly surged! The terrifying Dragon Might and the Destructive Aura of the Heavenly Flames intertwined, forming a suffocating pressure. Even the Hundred Desires Celestial Demon that the Old Man Demonic Desire had condensed trembled slightly at this moment!
"What... what kind of Dou Technique is this?!" The ferocity on the Old Man Demonic Desire's face completely turned into horror. He felt a deadly threat from those five fire dragons! That was definitely not the power of an ordinary Earth Tier Dou Technique!
"This move is called Five Dragons Paying Homage!" Lin Ming stood in the center of the five fire dragons, his robes fluttering, his eyes as cold as a god.
This move was used against the Dou Venerate Fire Lizard in the Magma World below the Inner Academy. Lin Ming used it to injure the Fire Lizard. Now, let's see how this move will work on Dou Zong!
Pointing his finger at the enormous, outstretched claw, Lin Ming gently said, "Go."
"Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing!"
Five dragon roars shook the heavens and the earth! As if receiving a king's command, five Flame Giant Dragon dragons roared and soared into the sky! They did not attack haphazardly, but rather linked head to tail, coiling and intertwining to form a huge fire tornado burning with the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, exuding an unparalleled aura of worshiping the supreme being and destroying all laws, and fiercely crashed into the dark red claw of desire!
"Boom--!!!"
An unprecedented and terrifying explosion erupted above the mountain peak! Blinding purple-red flames illuminated the entire mountain range, like a colorful sun rising!
The destructive energy Shockwave spread out in a circular pattern without restraint, and the mountain peak beneath our feet began to collapse and shatter like a sandcastle under this force!
The seemingly invincible claw of desire was crushed and evaporated inch by inch by the power containing the Heavenly Flame Origin and the intent of the True Dragon the moment it came into contact with the 'Five Dragons Paying Homage'! The dark red mist let out a mournful howl and quickly dissolved.
"No--!!!"
The Old Man Demonic Desire let out a desperate roar. He felt his connection with the True Body of the Heavenly Demon being forcibly severed. After destroying the demonic claw, the five fire dragons continued their momentum, carrying the power to the Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea, and instantly swallowed him along with the Heavenly Demon's True Body that had not yet completely dissipated!
"Ah--!"
A bloodcurdling scream, so piercing it was inhuman, emanated from the fiery tornado, but it lasted only a moment before abruptly ceasing.
The flames slowly dissipated, and in the sky, apart from a few scattered black ash particles and the gradually calming spatial ripples, only a Storage Ring was falling from the sky.
The power of the Five Dragons Paying Homage was truly terrifying!
